Lyrics (translation from Zulu to English by Gadifele Moroaswi):
Ukuthula kulo mhlaba wezono (Aleluya) igazi likaJesu linyenyez’ ukuthula
Peace in this world of sin (Halleluja) the blood of Jesus brings peace
Usindiso kulo mhlaba wezono (Aleluya) igazi likaJesu linyenyez’ usindiso
Redemption in this world of sin (Halleluja) the blood of Jesus brings redemption
Ukubonga kulo mhlaba wezono (Aleluya) igazi likaJesu linyenyez’ ukubonga
Praise (gratefulness) in this world of sin (Halleluja) the blood of Jesus brings praise (gratefulness)
Ukukholwa kulo mhlaba wezono (Aleluya) igazi likaJesu linyenyez’ ukukholwa
Faith in this world of sin (Halleluja) the blood of Jesus brings faith
Ukunqoba kulo mhlaba wezono (Aleluya) igazi likaJesu linyenyez’ ukunqoba
Victory in this world of sin (Halleluja) the blood of Jesus brings victory
Induduzo kulo mhlaba wezono (Aleluya) igazi likaJesu linyenyez’ induduzo
Comfort in this world of sin (Halleluja) the blood of Jesus brings comfort

The English translation of the lyrics of Ukuthula:
Peace, in this world of sin, the blood of Jesus brings. Hallelujah. Redemption, in this world of sin, the blood of Jesus brings. Hallelujah. Praise, in this world of sin, the blood of Jesus brings. Hallelujah. Faith, in this world of sin, the blood of Jesus brings. Hallelujah. Victory, in this world of sin, the blood of Jesus brings. Hallelujah. Comfort, in this world of sin, the blood of Jesus brings. Hallelujah. What more is there to say but to worship Him forever and ever.
